It remains to be seen whether Colorado quarterback commitment Shane Dillon being named to the prestigious national Eliite 11 QB list becomes a blessing or a curse.

Expectations are sure to rise. But it does indicate that the senior-to-be at El Cajon (Calif.) Christian has the physical gifts and mental sharpness to succeed at the next level.

Read the story here from Rivals.com’s Adam Munsterteiger, publisher of BuffStampede.com, who writes:

24 of the nation’s top quarterback prospects from the Class of 2012 competed for five days at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., this past week with the goal of being named an Elite 11 quarterback.

Colorado commitment Shane Dillon could not contain his emotions when he achieved that goal on Friday.

“Oh my gosh, [being named an Elite 11 quarterback] is a dream come true,” Dillon said in a text message to BuffStampede.com.

At El Cajon (Calif.) Christian high school, Dillon recorded 2,982 yards and completed 19 touchdowns during a junior year. He committed to CU and also got offers from Ohio State, Arizona, Cincinnati and Vanderbilt.
